That first round drove me bonkers trying to figure where I was. I have a feeling that mall area has been rebuilt since the photage was made, as it didn't look much like it did on the map. The other four rounds were a lot simpler to figure. Thank goodness. :D
Yeah. There's a lot of footage that is very outdated. And because Espoo is growing very fastly, there are also a lot of construction areas visible in the StreetViews. I checked that first round footage and it was from 2009. I don't know why the game chose that because there is newer footage available from that exact location.
And about the growth... I moved to Espoo in the end of September 2000. That time the population was something about 190k. In the end of 2022 it was 305k.
But I'm happily living here outside of the Ring III. This is semi-countryside and when looking around here it can be hard to believe that this municipality has over 300k inhabitants.
@@oh2mp That's what our Scandinavian cities have got going for them - the immediate transition to semi-ruralness more or less as soon as you leave downtown.
